Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XII. Reverberation Mapping Results for 15 PG Quasars from a Long-Duration High-Cadence Campaign

Chen Hu, Sha-Sha Li, Sen Yang +15

We present the first results from long-term high-cadence spectroscopic monitoring of 15 PG quasars with relatively strong Fe II emission as a part of a broader reverberation mappin…

Monitoring AGNs with H Asymmetry. III. Long-term Reverberation Mapping Results of 15 Palomar-Green Quasars

Dong-Wei Bao, Michael S. Brotherton, Pu Du +42

In this third paper of the series reporting on the reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of active galactic nuclei with asymmetric H emission-line profiles, we present results for…

Systematically smaller single-epoch quasar black hole masses using a radius-luminosity relationship corrected for spectral bias

Jaya Maithil, Michael S. Brotherton, Ohad Shemmer +6

Determining black hole masses and accretion rates with better accuracy and precision is crucial for understanding quasars as a population. These are fundamental physical properties…

Can X-ray Observations Improve Optical-UV-based Accretion-Rate Estimates for Quasars?

Andrea Marlar, Ohad Shemmer, Michael S. Brotherton +2

Current estimates of the normalized accretion rates of quasars (L/L_Edd), rely on measuring the velocity widths of broad optical-UV emission lines (e.g., H and Mg II $\lambda280…

AGN STORM 2: I. First results: A Change in the Weather of Mrk 817

Erin Kara, Missagh Mehdipour, Gerard A. Kriss +69

We present the first results from the ongoing, intensive, multi-wavelength monitoring program of the luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817. While this AGN was, in part, selected for it…

On the Observational Difference Between the Accretion Disk-Corona Connections among Super- and Sub-Eddington Accreting Active Galactic Nuclei

Hezhen Liu, B. Luo, W. N. Brandt +5

We present a systematic X-ray and multiwavelength study of a sample of 47 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with reverberation-mapping measurements. This sample includes 21 super-Eddin…
